How do you overcome claustrophobia?
Quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I know I baby it, so to speak, by avoiding situations I know will trigger panic and it's been steadily worsening. Just thinking about being in a situation that will cause panic causes high anxiety, shaking, fast heartbeat, etc.
I've been reading through articles and most agree on exposure therapy, but just the idea of forcing myself to go forth with it causes anxiety. I feel that wave of panic without even being in the situation yet. Needless to say, my level of claustrophobia is high.
How have you or how have you seen claustrophobia overcome?
